Delamere, Cheshire
The Treetop Adventure course keeps six-year-olds clipped in and grinning through nets, wobbly bridges and a finishing zip that lands them in bark chips with maximum drama. Everything happens above the same forest the Gruffalo trail winds through, so one booking quietly buys a full day out.
Parents can climb too or spectate from below with a coffee. Whichever you choose, someone will demand you watch every single crossing. Allow for this.
Worth knowing: Treetop Adventure from 6; Challenge needs 10+ and 1.4m.

Cheshire's biggest forest, set up properly for families: the Gruffalo sculptures still stand along the trail, 2026's new Room on the Broom activity trail runs from the visitor centre, and the whole loop is pram-friendly. Go Ape overhead for older kids.
A giant inflatable obstacle course floating on a Cheshire lake: 50 minutes of climbing, sliding and falling in. Brilliant for confident swimmers aged 6 and up, no use at all for anyone smaller.
